Feed the Birds — Foil the Squirrels

We’ve tested this feeder ourselves, and guarantee this is the Fort Knox of squirrel-proof bird feeders. Made of powder-coated galvanized steel, it has an adjustable weight-sensitive perch that completely seals off the feeding port when a squirrel or large bird lands on it. Feeder includes both a hanger and a 58" mounting pole. Holds 15 pounds of seed.

I have several movies made that I did of both squirrels and chipmunks getting the food. Both of them did a great balancing act by getting on top of the roof head first and putting one paw on the window area and pushing down on the wood BIRD perch and then have a delicious meal of bird seed.I will say that most of those critters can not figure it out but these 2 did.

I have another similar feeder that I bought at my local hardware store that I had to modify to make it truly squirrel proof. This one is a bit more expensive, but well worth it. It's more durable and squirrel proof right out of the box.

Bought this as a birthday present for my sister who lives in Maine. She had stopped putting out bird seed this Spring because the squirrels were eating it all. Not a problem now. She hung the feeder in a tree and no longer has a problem. There are small squirrels in Maine compared to Texas so she set it at a two and says it is wonderful. Everyone is happy except the squirrels.

While the Absolute Feeder became a favorite of several cardinals, after a few weeks, the squirrels soon broke through Fort Knox! The squirrels would either access the feeder tray from above avoiding standing on the tray, or access from the side of the tray.

Placed it outside my kitchen window. Had it set for smaller birds and am seeing so many varieties. It has added to my enjoyment working in the kitchen. Have already taken photos through the window and look forward to spring when I can have the window open - photos will be sharper clarity. Thoroughly enjoying the addition to my garden.
